Simpson attempted to tell the crowd of about 160 residents that the thousands of children arriving at the Mexico-U.S. border are fleeing lives of violence and abuse, including gangsters who specialize in trafficking children as sex slaves. Texans should treat the children with compassion, he said, a notion that his audience summarily rejected.

...
Other residents fear that the children are already criminals in their hearts.

“We need our borders protected. We need a lot of things, but what we don’t need is more people at the trough,” said Thomas Rolland to Simpson. “These people are not coming in with a good, Christian heart. Most of them are criminals, anyway.”

1. yeah…I mean...

fuck that compassion shit. We're christians!

[DhhD]

2. If the children had criminal intent, why would they need to flee the company of criminals?

Christian thinking then would follow that the children are seeking criminals here in the US. How hateful and stupid. Are they planning to tell us how much they support the execution of children just to get the right ones? How mean and narcissistic.
